Again, <path> _is_ ordered (aka <classpath> in many tasks). But if you nest
a <fileset> within a <path> the files *within* that fileset cannot have
their order guaranteed. If you need to mandate order, then use individual
<pathelement> or <path refid="..."> within a <path> to spell it out
explicitly.
Let me turn it around on you.... how can I adjust the order of the classes
processed by XDoclet? You can't, because its using a <fileset>. :)
